If you want to visit the biggest fascination of London, you should surely plan a trip to watch the Rolling Bridge.

Not only London’s but Wilton is the oldest surviving Grand Music Hall in the world. Founded in the year 1743 as an alehouse for sea captains, Wilton’s later became a music hall around 1800’s.

It also makes sure to engage local communities and school that show a keen interest in music.
The seven noses of Soho are an artistic installation found on buildings in London. These noses were created by artist Rick Buckley in 1997.
